Tito Jackson at Nottingham Arena

Date: Sun 11th Oct
Time: 19:30

Soul diva Gladys Knight embarks on her Midnight Train To Love – Farewell UK Tour featuring Tito Jackson this October and has made October 11th the date to stop off to say goodbye at the Trent FM Arena Nottingham.

Gladys began her lengthy music career in the 1950’s when she performed alongside her brother, sister and cousins. 1959 saw the group secure their first big hit in America with a cover version of “Every Beat of My Heart”. They received international recognition when they signed to the world famous Motown record label.

Their hit single “Midnight Train to Georgia” remains one of the most famous Motown tunes to date and was honoured as one of “The Greatest Songs of All Time” by Rolling Stone magazine.
After almost three decades together the band split but Gladys went on to become a global superstar. Career highlights include recording the official theme song to the James Bond movie Licence to Kill, winning eleven Grammy awards and receiving a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.

The Midnight Train To Love – Farewell Tour has received glowing reviews during its US dates. A+E Interactive.com raved about the icon: “The diva took back her stage. The power and passion Knight poured into the classics belies the fact that she’s been singing them almost nightly for 30 years. The audience went wild and brought Knight back for an encore of the disco anthem ‘I Will Survive’.”

Gladys has an extra special guest too. Jackson 5 legend Tito Jackson.

Tito will take to the stage with his 14-piece band – ‘The Brothers’ – to exclusively perform a string of hit songs penned by both Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 and will also be performing brand new tracks from his forthcoming album set for global release this year.

Tito told Trent FM Arena Nottingham: “The UK was a very special place to my brother Michael and I’m so excited to be able to pay my respect to his fans there. To be able to do this whilst supporting our dear friend Gladys is a complete blessing.” Tito stated. “Not many people know this, but it was actually Gladys who introduced my brothers and I to Berry Gordy which led to our signing to Motown Records and the rest, as they say, is history.”

Tickets are priced at £40 and £50 (plus booking fee)
